It certainly depicts a HR scene doesn't it.
What was upstairs behind the lattice work?

Was the lattice work on right the sound system?
Definately north side of Wyeast over Lost Lake

Behind the latticework: the organ pipes, perhaps?

Great to see what it really looked like (I have only heard about it and its famed organ.)

Good question Nels.....,who knows. Old theater's are so cool. All cities/towns had them, another era.........nearly gone by. Well there are now Cinemaplex's.

I think I remember from an earlier post the Rialto organ went to Coos Bay, then came back to Hood River and is now in the Museum being restored.

That's correct Jimbo. The organ is in pieces at the museum. It is not on display, but it has not been lost to history.

I will try to find out about the organ. I know two or three guys who were on the demolition team.
